5 7 Description of the test setup, test equipment and ancillaries used for tests Typically, the calibrations of the test apparatus are commissioned to and performed by an accredited calibration laboratory. The calibration intervals are determined in accordance with the DIN EN ISO/IEC In addition to the external calibrations, the laboratory executes comparison measurements with other calibrated test systems or effective verifications. Weekly chamber inspections and range calibrations are performed. Where possible, RFgenerating and signaling equipment as well as measuring receivers and analyzers are connected to an external high-precision 10 MHz reference (GPS-based or rubidium frequency standard). In order to simplify the identification of the equipment used at some special tests, some items of test equipment and ancillaries can be provided with an identifier or number in the equipment list below (Lab/Item).

10 9 Sequence of testing 9.1 Sequence of testing 9 khz to 30 MHz Setup The equipment was set up to simulate a typical usage like descripted in the user manual or described by manufacturer. If the EUT is a tabletop system, a rotatable table with 1.5 m height is used. If the EUT is a floor standing device, it is placed on the ground. Auxiliary equipment and cables were positioned to simulate normal operation conditions as described in ANSI C The AC power port of the EUT (if available) is connected to a power outlet below the turntable. The measurement distance is 3 meter (see ANSI C 63.4) see each test details. The EUT was set into operation. Premeasurement The turntable rotates from 0 to 315 using 45 steps. The antenna height is 1.5 meter. At each turntable position the analyzer sweeps with peak detection to find the maximum of all emissions. Final measurement Identified emissions during the premeasurement the software maximizes by rotating the turntable position (0 to 360 ) and by rotating the elevation axes (0 to 360 ). The final measurement will be done in the position (turntable and elevation) causing the highest emissions with RMS (RMS / see ANSI C 63.4) detector. The final levels, frequency, measuring time, bandwidth, turntable position, correction factor, margin to the limit and limit will be recorded. Also a plot with the graph of the premeasurement and the limit will be stored. Page 10 of 33

11 9.2 Sequence of testing 30 MHz to 1 GHz Setup The equipment was set up to simulate a typical usage like descripted in the user manual or described by manufacturer. If the EUT is a tabletop system, a table with 0.8 m height is used, which is placed on the ground plane. If the EUT is a floor standing device, it is placed on the ground plane with insulation between both. Auxiliary equipment and cables were positioned to simulate normal operation conditions as described in ANSI C The AC power port of the EUT (if available) is connected to a power outlet below the turntable.

The antenna is polarized vertical and horizontal. The antenna height is 1.5 meter. At each turntable position, antenna polarization and height the analyzer sweeps three times in peak to find the maximum of all emissions. Final measurement The final measurement will be performed with minimum the six highest peaks. According to the maximum antenna and turntable positions of premeasurement the software maximize the peaks by changing turntable position (± 45 ) and antenna movement between 1 and 4 meter. The final measurement will be done with RMS (RMS / see ANSI C 63.4) detector with an EMI receiver. The final levels, frequency, measuring time, bandwidth, antenna height, antenna polarization, turntable angle, correction factor, margin to the limit and limit will be recorded. Also a plot with the graph of the premeasurement with marked maximum final measurements and the limit will be stored. Page 11 of 33

15 11 RF measurements 11.1 Results LTE Band 2 The EUT was set to transmit the maximum power RF output power Description: This paragraph contains ERP measurements for the mobile station. Measurement: The mobile was set up for the maximum output power with pseudo random data modulation. To determine the Peak-To-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) the measurement was performed with the Power Complementary Cumulative Distribution Function (CCDF). Detector: AQT: Measurement parameters Sample 15.6 ms Resolution bandwidth: 40 MHz Used equipment: see chapter 7.1 A and chapter 7.2 A Measurement uncertainty: see chapter 8 Limits: FCC CFR Part CFR Part Nominal Peak Output Power dbm In measuring transmissions in this band using an average power technique, the peak-to-average ratio (PAR) of the transmission may not exceed 13 db. Page 15 of 33

16 Results: The worst case setting was evaluated at the 1.4 MHz bandwidth, 1 resource block and low resource block offset setting for lowest, middle and highest channel.

17 Spurious emissions radiated Description: The following steps outline the procedure used to measure the radiated emissions from the mobile station. The site is constructed in accordance with ANSI C63.4:2014 requirements and is recognized by the FCC to be in compliance for a 3 and a 10 meter site. The spectrum was scanned from 9 khz to the 10th harmonic of the highest frequency generated within the equipment, which is the transmitted carrier that can be as high as MHz. Measurement made up to 26 GHz. The resolution bandwidth is set as outlined in Part The spectrum was scanned with the mobile station transmitting at the middle carrier frequency of the LTE Band 2. Measurement: Limits: Detector: Sweep time: Resolution bandwidth: Video bandwidth: Span: Measurement parameters Peak / RMS 5 ms/mhz 1 MHz 3 MHz different steps Trace-Mode: Max Hold Used equipment: see chapter A & A Measurement uncertainty: see chapter 8 FCC CFR Part CFR Part Spurious Emissions Radiated Attenuation log(P) (P, Power in Watts) -13 dbm Page 17 of 33

18 Results: Radiated emissions measurements were made only at the center carrier frequency of the LTE Band 2 (1880 MHz). It was decided that measurements at this carrier frequency would be sufficient to demonstrate compliance with emissions limits because it was seen that all the significant spurs occur well outside the band and no radiation was seen from a carrier in one block of the LTE Band 2 into any of the other blocks. The equipment must still, however, meet emissions requirements with the carrier at all frequencies over which it is capable of operating and it is the manufacturer s responsibility to verify this. The final open field radiated levels are presented on the next pages. All measurements were done in horizontal and vertical polarization; the plots show the worst case. The plots show the lowest, middle and highest channel. The found values are stated in the table below. As can be seen from this data, the emissions from the test item were within the specification limit. QPSK: Spurious Emission Level (dbm) Lowest channel Middle channel Highest channel Level Spurious emissions [dbm] All detected emissions are more than 20 db below the limit.
